Method

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. This will be your marinade for the chicken.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 4

    Chop Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop the mixed greens, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber. Add all the vegetables to a large salad bowl.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the salad.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Making the Dressing

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic clove, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  2. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
